1 The Lord says,“At that time I will restorethe prosperity of Judah and Jerusalem.
2 I will gather all the nationsand bring them to the Valley of Judgement.There I will judge themfor all they have done to my people.They have scattered the Israelites in foreign countriesand divided up Israel, my land.
3 They threw dice to decidewho would get the captives.They sold boys and girls into slaveryto pay for prostitutes and wine.
4 “What are you trying to do to me, Tyre, Sidon, and all the regions of Philistia? Are you trying to pay me back for something? If you are, I will quickly pay you back!
5 You have taken my silver and gold and carried my rich treasures into your temples.
6 You have taken the people of Judah and Jerusalem far from their own country and sold them to the Greeks.
7 Now I am going to bring them out of the places to which you have sold them. I will do to you what you have done to them.
